Social Responsibility Network’s GunTV to air across the USA on April 1, 2016

Hockessin, Del. (March 31, 2016) – Social Responsibility Network LLC and GTV Live Shopping LLC, are launching GunTV, a television shopping network for firearms and related consumer goods, on April 1, 2016. The network will air across the country on a variety of cable networks and television stations. The new GunTV website, www.guntv.tv, will be launched simultaneously.

“We are very excited to bring our new concept of shopping for firearms and accessories to live television. Our unique platform allows industry manufacturers to showcase products through our talented and experienced on-air hosts. Viewers will receive in-depth, entertaining product demonstrations, and see the products in action, an important component of the purchasing decision.” said Valerie Castle, Managing Partner of GunTV.

GunTV will initially air 7-days a week from 1AM to 7AM EST and plans to scale the network to a 24/7 broadcast schedule. Leading manufacturers will be featured with product demonstrations punctuated with three minutes of firearms safety public service announcements every hour. The network will also provide a superior level of service through highly trained and knowledgeable customer experience representatives recruited from the veteran and former law enforcement community who will assist GunTV customers with making purchases over the phone and online.

“We understand that the more informed we are as consumers, the better purchasing decisions we make. At GunTV, safety is our number one priority. GunTV offers education, information and safety regarding firearms, and we follow all local State and Federal Regulations. GunTV does not ship firearms directly to consumers. All firearm orders are fulfilled by a Federal Firearms Licensed Dealer, and all firearm purchases through GunTV are subject to background checks.” said Ms. Castle.

GunTV’s hosts, culled from the shooting sports and former law enforcement and military communities, are entertaining and experienced with all types of firearms.

Carly Twissleman, an actress and professional rodeo competitor, comes from a firearms enthusiast ranching family.

Denny Chapman, former law enforcement officer, is a professional cowboy mounted shooting competitor and NRA firearms instructor with his own line of signature products for the sport of mounted shooting and equestrian enthusiasts.

Anette Wachter, aka 30CalGal, is a member of the US Long Range Rifle Team and the 2015 World

Palma Team, professional precision rifle and 3 gun competitor and a writer and blogger with her own line of gun jewelry.

Bree Warner, a veteran actress and auxiliary police officer with a large metropolitan police department, is also the founder of TactigalNYC gun blog, founded to empower women.

KC Kahne has been an avid shooter since his boyhood and with his certification as an NRA firearms instructor, KC has sought out and trained with some of the most respected and elite trainers in the firearms world.

Rydell Danzi, a military veteran with a passion for helping vets and non-vets, has directed and performed in films and is an avid outdoorsman.

Billy Birdzell, an officer in the USMC and a founding member of the Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC) served two tours in Iraq before coming home to earn an MBA and join the NRA Office of Advancement, while still finding time to enjoy the great outdoors and become a competitive shooter.

Airing from 1A to 7A? Who did the demo on that? I mean, the selected air talent checks all the boxes – cowboy, ex-mil, few eye candies, token black guy, vaguely Hispanic guy. Follows the formula. But still.

Has to be an elaborate April Fools. Or someone really stupid with a whole lotta money.

That’s the only reason any business has a Delaware address – tax and legal purposes. It’s almost always a PO box, almost no one actually has an office there.

If you’re in a $10MM-$1B-ish environment, likely DE is advantageous. Once you pass the $1B threshold, the off-shore tricks used by the big boys begin to make sense. But you really need dedicated people for those strategies.

Since it’s not the first yet, I clicked the link.
Do these people really know anything about guns?
Or maybe I’m just unschooled. I stared at the loaded round on the screen shot…
Anybody else see something wrong?

Geoff,
Click the “here” link above. It takes you to their web site tv screen.
Look at the loaded cartridge image on the right of the screen. (Don’t get distracted by the silhouette of the gal with the pistol) ?

Exactly that. It’s like a loaded round, seated into another casing. Like plopping a .223 round inside a 10mm case. It’s stupid.
More stupid than the AR pictured with an optic mounted atop the non floating hand guard with the carry handle…
If this is real, it’s going to be more marketing hype than anything.
If it’s going to be like QVC, expect flower chamber flags, pink fuzzy gun cases and other drivel. Oh well, wait and see…

Well that is good publicity for firearms, however I dont like the idea of giving out information to people about firearms or related products over the phone or net. They may want to know the exsact location of the boat that my x girlfiend stole and sank with all my firearms on board, even tho she denys it.
